Reborn As The Dragon Prince

Chapter 7

There was a reason for him deciding to hide his prowess. The first was that he didn't want too much attention. Also it was too much for general people to find out that a boy of 5 years of age has so much power. Lastly the soul fragment have warned him.

"The gods responsible for sealing your prowess will not let you rise. You have to be stronger than them before giving off your identity. So he decided to keep it a secret. Furthermore he acquired a knowledge about cultivating his dark magic. He found that death qi is required for one to cultivate dark attribute.

Furthermore he also learned that death qi cannot be gathered by meditation or by simply cultivating. To cultivate death qi one needs to steal it. He learned that he can steal death qi by killing that being. It could be anyone humans, beasts, monsters, etc. Death qi could be acquired firm any for of living beings.

But he needs to wait until he is eligible to travel to the out side world. With all these thoughts he slowly began to regain his consciousness.... The arena was crowed by people both Theresa and Ruberth were wishing for the well being of their son. Suddenly the layer of dark most vanished as if it wasn't even there.

The sword on the hand of Ricardo fell to the ground clang.. Clang... Ruberth and Theresa were relieved but were still confused. Soon they realized that their son was about to fall. Ruberth instantly transformed into the dragon from and saved Ricardo from falling to the ground.

He then transformed back. Ricardo was unconscious as it was seen but he wasn't. It was all an act to twist the truth. Ricardo seem to have been struggling and this sight pained both the parents a lot. Ricardo sighed in his heart and apologized as this was the only way to keep the family safe and sound.

Furthermore he realized something. There was a change in his body as well. He concentrated and found that his mana pool have grown by 10 fold again. He knew that it was because of the soul fragment of death God but still it was unbelievable for him to calm himself. The strange things didn't stop in here as he felt that his mana pool has started to compress it self.

Now this was something beyond his expectation. He wondered what was going on but soon he rembered few things from his past life. In his past life there were cultivation stories were one compressed the energy from pool so that more energy could be stored. Ricardo thought of this and wanted to give it a try.

He slowly started to contrate his mana on a singular point and started to compress it. The mana in the pool started to grow small in size and finally after few hours Ricardo finally managed to compress it and it was that of a fist size.

While Ricardo was busy doing so many things his parents have already brought him to his room. They even called the pharmacist to check on him. The pharmacist after checking the condition shook his head and said "His body is fine but his consciousness seem to have lost. Now only God and his own will could help him to regain his composure.

It may take a day or month or even years. But if he won't wake by the end of 5 year than it would be a lost cause." After saying that the pharmacist left the place and the mother and father of the child were left crying. Ricardo unknown about the outside world didn't even know about all this.

He continued to gather mana in his pool then compress it to the size of his fist. He didn't even know how long has it been but finally he have made 12 fist sized ball of energy. And his power have grown exponentially. To be exact before his power was that of equal to intermidiate level.

But after he got the soul fragment his mana capacity reached to that of first phase high tier. But now after compressing so much of mana / magical energy his pool capacity is equal to that of mid phase high tier. But the problem was his abilities were still in the beginner level.

He didn't wanted to get himself stuck at the beginner level moreover he didn't want to rely on his magical prowess only. So he started to train his body and started to practice the sword art he knew. Without him realizing half an yaer have already passed.

His parents were both worried and furthermore his mother was yet again about to give birth to new one. As Theresa was staying by the side of her son she witnessed an unnatural phenomenon. The whole of Ricardo body started to glow and she could clearly see the veins and muscles slowly changing.

Furthermore her son has grown taller than before and his hair were also long. She tried to check his apeitual world but she couldn't as if she was being rejected by an unknown force. Ricardo was emwesed deeply in his practice. He didn't even know that he have been in this state of spiritual mind for more than half a year.

The days went by the same way as usual but a happy event was coming alone. It has been year and Ricardo was still within that confined space practicing and honing his skills. His sword play have reached the level of mastery. Now his sword art alone could rival mid intermidiate level magician.

Same goes for his martial art as well. His body was now stronger than before. All in all he was able to fight first phase high level magician as equal. But this was still not enough for him. As he was still in the beginner stage.

He tried to find many different ways to solve the problem of his magical progress. It have been another year already. He have finally combined himself with the death qi along with his dark attribute. This resulted in something unexpected to happen. He suddenly felt intense pain.

Not just his consciousness but his real body was also struggling. Ricardo lost sight of his surrounding and all he could see was 12 giant pillars that stretched from earth to heavens. He realized this place is his seal, but he wondered why was he here.

To his surprise he saw that there is one extra element in this place. That element was his dark attribute. Now he finally realized why the fragmented soul asked a promise from him. The seal on his fire attribute started to break.

But the process was extremely painful.

He tried his hardest to keep himself calm and endured the extreme pain. Soon he opened his eyes and was surprised entirely by the scene in front of him. As soon as he woke up he was hugged tightly by his mother. He felt a small hand and as he saw there was a little girl. To his surprise this was his sister and she was now 2 and half year old.
